Abstract

This IDC PeerScape explores how chief information officers (CIOs) and chief data officers are taking a pragmatic approach to data governance by recasting data governance as a crucial prerequisite for the data-driven enterprise.

"Data governance has a reputation as boring, bureaucratic, and bogged down in complexity," says Mitch Betts, adjunct analyst with IDC's IT Executive Programs. "Savvy CIOs are revitalizing data governance with a streamlined approach that tells a more attractive story: Governance produces data the organization can trust."
